If you like the Total War series' real-time battles and were never a big fan of Civilization-style empire management, then Neocore's Lionheart: Kings' Crusade is built for you. It offers two campaigns set within the period of the Third Crusade with plenty of content and a welcome degree of mission variety to keep the action from getting too stale.

The crowned heads of Europe launch a new military campaign to re-conquer the Holy Land. The time has come for you to assemble your armies and take back the land as Richard the Lionheart. Or assume the role of the great Saladin and defend your people against the oncoming invasion. Lionheart: King’s Crusade gives you the chance to make the dreams of the past a reality.

The King’s Crusade is a real-time strategy game that places you in the era of the Third Crusade, spanning the years 1189-1192. Control and upgrade the leaders and their armies, lead your men into fierce battles, complete the objectives of the campaign by guiding various historical factions through political events, collect relics, and unlock new content on your crusade.
